Networking elicits fear in many job hunters’ minds, regardless of age, but it can be especially mysterious when you’re just starting out. While building a network may seem daunting when you’re searching for your first job, it’s not as difficult as you might think. Chances are, you’ve already built up quite a large network just by living your life up to this point—and one of those people in your circle could be just the connection you need to land the job you want. One underutilized way to leverage your network to get your first job is to set up informational interviews. Approaching your job hunt with an “I’m-here-to-learn” mentality from successful people in your desired industry can help you view your job search as a learning experience, as well as help you discover what you truly want (and don’t want) to do. With any kind of networking, “think more about who you’re talking to and less about selling … [Read more...] about How to leverage your network to land your first full-time job

President Donald Trump has been tweeting and retweeting with such velocity in recent weeks that his fingertips must be raw. For the past month, he’s been blasting an average of 22 tweets a day from his presidential bunker, and hitting some extreme peaks: Trump got so worked up on May 11 that he tweeted or retweeted 71 times about border security, the Democrats and tariffs. Not long before, on May 1, he fired off 84 tweets and retweets seeking to prove that America’s firefighters love him more than Joe Biden, who just got an endorsement from the largest firefighter union. As it has since 2015, the press corps scrambles to cover his every tweet like it was an asteroid striking the Earth. But why? The normal argument is that when the president of the United States says something—whether he threatens war, as Trump did recently against Iran, or praises the winner of the World Series—it’s news. But so much of Trump’s Twitter fury is posturing, … [Read more...] about A New Way to Cover Trump’s Tweets

A dismal mood has descended on Capitol Hill as the shutdown concludes its 27th day. The House speaker and the president are at war. A bipartisan Senate push to reopen the government failed for a second consecutive week. And no shutdown talks are even planned between party leaders.Story Continued Below “I feel like I’m going to strangle you," quipped one senator who's tried in vain to find a breakthrough when a reporter asked about their state of mind. That lawmaker was joking, probably, but the vibes in the Capitol are funereal at best. And with most members headed home for a long weekend, the partial shutdown is essentially guaranteed to enter into its second month. It’s an unheard-of impasse even in a capital that’s seen debt crises, blunt budget cuts and scores of unprecedented political conflicts over the past decade. But this one feels different, a shutdown where the dynamics are frozen. Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer … [Read more...] about ‘Feel like I’m going to strangle you’: Shutdown breaks Congress’ spirit

WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump blasted the FBI Saturday, insisting it acted "for no reason & with no proof" when it opened an investigation into whether he was acting on Russia's behalf after he fired the agency's director, James Comey, in May 2017. The New York Times reported that the FBI launched the previously undisclosed counterintelligence investigation to determine whether Trump posed a national security threat, at the same time that it opened a criminal probe into possible obstruction of justice by the president. The FBI investigation was subsequently folded into the broader probe by Special Counsel Robert Mueller into Russia's meddling in the 2016 election and possible collaboration by the Trump campaign. No evidence has publicly emerged that Trump was secretly in contact with or took direction from Russian officials, the Times said. TRUMP REACTS "Wow, just learned in the Failing New York Times that the corrupt former leaders of the FBI, almost all fired or forced to … [Read more...] about Trump blasts FBI counterintel probe into whether he worked for Russia
